I can't believe that I have been out and about today in Peckham and ED in the only places that don't have betting shops. I now have a raging headache and can't be arsed to walk down to L.Lane.


I would have put my fiver on Imperial Commander, so if he wins I shall have a hissy fit.

Errr....idiots gambling question alert:


I went into my nearest turf accountant and placed my bets but have no idea what odds I actually got. Never bothered to find out what they were. Do I get the odds as they were at the time of my bet or the closing odds. Doesn't really make much difference since they're highly unlikely to win but you never know so.....help please....

You horsey people have ignited my interest in the sport though I'm sure it won't last. How can so many experts get it wrong though? So many favourites didn't win or even get close. If it's this difficult might you just as well invest in online bingo.????'s how did you manage to pick IC to win? Who did you listen to? Mick, what did that subscription do for you? Lost you money in seems. The experts don't seem very expert. Well done to Katie Walsh though.

All good points Declan.


I have to admit to losing a small/big fortune this week. Am very much poorer than I was when the week started.

I read the racing sections in the papers most days

I especially read bits on the big races

I look at what people are saying on Forums

When there's big favourites (in this case) I'll look for a decent alternative horse as prices will be big and an EW bet gives you some degree of insurance



But ultimately, I just look at what Mick Mack is doing and do something else.....


REAL ANSWER= LUCK...this time

I made it for you all by backing Kauto Star and Denman thus ensuring the BN fecal touch would anoint them both. If it wasn't for a Thousand kisses at 20's my Cheltenham could have been a disaster but Ms Walsh got me into ?20 profit for the four days.


Imperial Commander was a class act and I'm not sure KS would have won even if it didn't fall.


Well done Mr ????"s you called it from a week or so ago *doffs wad*

I know, kick a man when he's down. Come on, cheer up France should seal the Grand Slam and you'll have a good win.

    • Just for information: I see that the Licensing Sub-committee has the Tesco application as item 1 on their 24 July meeting agenda.  https://moderngov.southwark.gov.uk/ieListDocuments.aspx?CId=172&MId=8329. The officer's report to the committtee provides a good succinct summary.  I see, from (original) p.31 of the full public pack, (or more conveniently the supporting documents) that Tesco Legal Dept on 12 June reported that they'd agreed with the police's suggested conditions to be attached to the licence, and the police accordingly withdrew their own representation.  That leaves just one representation, from a member of the public, to be dealt with on the day. I still think it's not necessarily to be presumed that Tesco will definitely be taking over the premises.  I see that Poundland themselves were granted an off-sales licence on 21 Feb 2023, and surrendered it on 3 July 2025.  I'm not sure they actually ever used it themselves.  Did they? https://www.southwark.gov.uk/sites/default/files/2024-09/Statement of Licensing Policy 2021-2026.pdf is a full statement of the policy and its application, for thems as is interested.
    • I'm now just following David Peckham around, posting laughing emojis on all his comments.   
    • Well, quite. Do you know where your lad's going tonight?
    • I'd get rid of duty free shopping.  Nothing to do with tourist tax but something I hate.  All that glitz as you try to get through to Wetherspoons in the departure lounge.  No great savings over on line or even at times supermarkets, and the hypocrisy of selling cheap cancer sticks. Ok back to tourist tax
